CAVS Studies Radiation Effects on Nuclear Reactor Materials

March 9, 2012

Mark Tschopp, an assistant research professor at Mississippi State, has led efforts to create better predictive models for materials used in extreme environments such as nuclear reactors. The research is funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Tschopp works in the computational manufacturing and design group at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems, a major unit of the university's Bagley College of Engineering.
